Yu Wenxia, a girl from northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, won the Miss World crown for 2012, defeating more than 100 other hopefuls from across the globe. It's the second time a contestant from China has been awarded the title. Last year's Miss World, Ivian Sarcos of Venezuela, handed over her crown to Yu at a glittering ceremony held on August 18 in Ordos, a mining city of north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
Yu, 23, studied national vocal music at the School of Music at Harbin Normal University from 2008 to 2012. She took part in the Chinese Miss Tourism competition in 2010 and won first place. She said she never expected to win the Miss World crown and she hopes to become a music teacher. |
